Walking out of the confines of the main hall along the wide stone path, the surrounding scenery immediately darkened, and the stones began to gradually turn dark red, and as they got closer and closer to the cave on the map, the color of the stones became more and more bright red, as if there was blood flowing in it.

I was a little curious in my heart, who is the master of the Taoist priest, how can there be a map here, this road actually passed through Zhang Liang's main hall, could he have been here before, and the obsession of the Taoist priest with the immortal scripture, is he really looking for peach wood?

Or is it for the sake of the Immortal Sutra from the beginning?

If it was really for the sake of the Immortal Sutra, then how did he and his master calculate that I would definitely be able to get the power of double flowers.

My heart is a little chaotic, the Taoist priest looked very strange from the beginning, and now I think it seems to be deliberately close to me, could it be that he has been planning since that time, if this is the case, then the curse of the evil girl is likely to be given by the Taoist priest, because only in this way can I be attracted by the strange skeleton and chase into the flower bed of the peony sisters to get the power of double flowers.

I am becoming more and more vigilant about the fallen Taoist priest in my heart, especially when I see that the fallen Taoist priest is staring at the immortal scripture, and I feel that this guess is accurate, and this person must be guarded against in the future.

This section of the road is surprisingly quiet, so quiet that even the sound of breathing can be heard, and the sound of stepping on the stone road is like a drumbeat at the end, making it difficult for people to even breathe.

Mountains began to appear around, the stones on the mountain were red reflections, and there were no plants to be seen except for the black-brown dead trees around, and our attention began to focus, constantly turning our heads to look around, and even the Taoist priest took out the yin and yang ruler and was on guard.

The silent danger spread around, my heart felt like it was being pressed by a stone, there was always a feeling of being breathless, the road was getting narrower and narrower, as if my trachea was being pinched a little bit, and it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe.

The sun was setting in the west, and we finally came to the cave marked on the map, which was very large and thirty meters high, and the entrance of the cave was crawling with blood-colored vines, the leaves of the vines were black, and they had long faces, which looked like women's hair, and it looked so strange.

Woooooooo

The wind blows into the cave and makes a crying sound, which is creepy, and if it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't want to go in here.

Xiao Qiang waved his hand, and several people walked up cautiously, Liu Qianying suddenly hugged me hard, and pointed to both sides of the cave, where there were a lot of miserable human bones, piled up like garbage that had been thrown away.

"How can there be flesh and blood on these white bones, could it be that he just died?" The white bones looked old, but there was fresh flesh on them, so I asked unconsciously.

"I don't know, the last time I came, I saw these white bones like this." Xiao Qiang's face was solemn, and there was a strange voice in his voice, as if he was suppressing extreme fear.

The Taoist priest is a descendant of Maoshan, and after carefully observing it for a while, he said in a low voice: "This should be a bone made of blood Gu worms, blood Gu worms naturally drink blood and eat meat, and resting in the human body will eat flesh and blood according to the wishes of the Gu cultivators, even if the human body dies, the blood Gu worms can secrete a special venom to preserve the flesh and blood from rotting." ”

The Daoist priest pointed with his hand, "Look at whether there is a small hole in the thigh bone, I think it is the blood Gu worm drilled out, this blood Gu worm should have been ordered by the Gu keeper to rest, it can survive for a long time, relying on the toxin secreted by the blood Gu worm to make the flesh and blood on these bones exist for so long." ”

"Could it be that the Gu Keeper is still alive?" I'm a little incredulous, the white bones on it are already decaying, to say the least, it will be three hundred years, if the Gu cultivator is still alive, it will be more than three hundred years old.

The down-and-out Taoist priest smiled: "That's not necessarily, Gu worms don't necessarily have to die with Gu cultivators, Gu cultivators can choose to cut off the life connection with Gu worms or simply pass them on to others before they die, but these skills can only be done by very clever Gu cultivators." ”

"What is this vine, why did this Gu cultivator waste so much effort to cultivate him." I looked up and down at the blood-colored vines in front of me, and found that this vine had a few small red flowers in an obscure position, the petals were very peculiar, almost the same as the leaves of the vine, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all, and the center of the little red flower was not a stamen, but a kind of red and bright concentrated liquid, and if you carefully identified it, you could still smell a trace of fragrance, a little fishy, according to a little familiar, but I just couldn't remember smelling there.

The Daoist shook his head, "I don't know this vine either, but we have to be careful, this thing absorbs flesh and blood to grow, and if you don't get it, it will eat people." ”

A few people walked into the cave with bated breath, but I didn't expect it to be a false alarm, the blood-colored vines did not have anything abnormal at all, but I felt my neck sinking, as if I was pressed by something, and my head was very heavy, as if I was about to raise my head.

Xiao Qiang and they didn't walk in front of anything, my head became heavier and heavier, and finally I was so pressed that I could only bow my head, the sun shone in along the hole, and the shadow shone very long, and I suddenly found that our shadows were gone.

"How come we don't have a shadow anymore."

I exclaimed, causing everyone to stop, looking at the empty ground, everyone's faces were extremely ugly, Liu Qianying said with a pale face: "Isn't it a ghost that has no shadow?" Are we all dead? ”

The Taoist priest quickly picked up a spirit rune and put it across his eyes, and the rune paper lit with a bang, and then looked at me and Liu Qianying, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't scare yourself, it's not that we don't have a shadow, but the shadow is blocked out." ”

"Shadows can be blocked, too?" I'm a little speechless, this seems to me to be impossible at all, shadows are born with people, as long as there is light, there is a shadow, it is the evidence of the physical body, if the shadow is gone, wouldn't we all become ghosts without a physical body?

The Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully: "Of course it can be blocked, like we have a kind of shadow preservation technique in the Maoshan technique, which can store the shadow in the spirit rune, and temporarily be in a shadowless state, when Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng was known as the black-faced Yama, Wu Penji Night Trial of the Villain Quanmei Case Night Trial Chen Shimei actually used the shadow storage technique, which can deceive those who are traitors and evildoers, and make people think that they really met the ghost and the Yama King confessed." ”

"You're saying that this cave is the same as the courtyard where shadows are stored, and you can temporarily store shadows outside."

"Yes, as long as we leave here, the shadow will naturally reappear, don't worry, I have observed just now, our soul and body are all safe and sound."

I was relieved to hear the Taoist priest say this, but I didn't know that the Taoist priest didn't tell the truth at all, a few people continued to walk forward, I found that the stone in the cave was even more bright red, and even began to ooze bright red blood on the stone, and the ticking sound echoed in my ears, as if my body was also bleeding, and it was flowing faster and faster.

Liu Qianying hugged me with a pale face, and I found that her lips were white, as if she had lost too much blood, "Liu Qianying, are you okay?" ”

"I feel like my blood is running dry, I'm going to die." Liu Qianying's voice was very weak, and the arms holding me were not so strong, and I was just about to speak to comfort her, when I saw a hideous shadow floating on the stone wall not far away, the shadow was extremely huge, as if there were countless hands grasping in the void, trying to grab and tear everyone who saw him.
